Win a Copy of Win Disney Books’ Adventurers Guild and Percy Jackson Coloring Book

My family loves to read. Whether it be a paperback, hardback, audio book, Wattpad, ebook, magazine, newspaper or whatever. Sometimes even a cereal box. One of my favorite memories is four of us at a table in a restaurant, absolute silence as I read a paperback, my daughter on her kindle, my son on his phone and my husband on a tablet.

I am pleased to give away a copy of Disney Books’s The Adventurers Guild by Zack Loran Clark and Nick Elipulos and a copy of The Percy Jackson Coloring Book with artwork by Keith Robinson.   Click here to Enter!

Jr. Ranger Program Open for Registration!

Source_ Jr. Ranger
The Junior Ranger Program is a great way to get your kids (both boys and girls) outdoors and into a free, safe, and fun program! Programs take place in several Santa Clara County Parks each spring and fall for kids ages 9-11 (usually 4th-5th grade). Junior rangers explore park history and nature through outdoor adventures with park staff. Students who successfully complete the program earn a badge and certificate! 
 
Graduating junior rangers are invited to a free overnight campout (June 2-3, 2018) with program staff. 
 
Registration forms must be completed and submitted by April 1, 2018.  But don’t wait.  Also, I could not find a requirement that you be a resident of Santa Clara County to apply.
